Within Harmless, we have a variety of support available alongside 1-1 sessions, outlined below:
Suicide Crisis Text Support
The purpose of the primary care, text message support service is to offer support to individuals of all ages in suicide crisis. The support will consist of emotional and practical support, signposting, and referrals if necessary.
Conversations can be started by texting a keyword to 0780 000 2606. For adults, the keyword is ‘HOPE’, and for under 18’s the keyword is ‘LISTEN’.
Conversations can be started in other ways and these keywords are just a suggestion.
We are not an instant service. We will reply within 1 working day, and the text service’s working days are Monday, Wednesday & Friday currently.
Our opening hours are:
Mondays 13:00-16:00
Wednesdays 15:00-19:00
Fridays 13:00-16:00
